Abstract 8- Summary During the period of study from January, 2013 to December, 2014. A total of 6381 slaughtered animals of different age and sex represented by (2009) cattle, (2688) buffaloes and (1684) camel were examined through post mortem inspection at Sers-Ellian and Berhim traditional abattoirs for demonstration of pluck affections (trachea, esophagus ,heart and two lung) as parasitic infestation (cysticecosis, sarcocystosis, hydatidosis) and tuberculosis infection. The obtained results indicated that the total incidence of C.bovis in cattle was (15.63%) including (15.61%) for males and (16.66%) for females through the year, while the total heart infestation rate in plucks of cattle was (10.8%). The total seasonal incidences was (17.64%), (23.52 %), (26.47%) and (32.35%) in winter, spring, summer and autumn, respectively, the seasonal incidence in males was (18.18%), (24.24%), (27.27%) and (30.33%) in winter, spring, summer and autumn, respectively, while the infection rate in females were recorded in autumn (100%). The infestation rate of C.bovis in plucks of cattle was mainly observed during autumn. Concerning to the total incidence of sarcocystosis infection in buffaloes was (29.76%) including (20.11%) for males and (33.13%) for females through the year, while the total esophageal infestation rate in plucks of buffaloes was (65%). The total seasonal incidence was (20.76%), (26.53%), (23.26 %) and (29.8 %) in winter, spring, summer and autumn, respectively, including winter (30.07%), (20.36%), spring (29.48%), (26%), summer (24.36%), (23.07%) and autumn (25.64%), (30.54%) in male and female buffaloes, respectively. The infestation rate Summary 117 of sarcocystis in plucks was highly observed during spring for males and in autumn for females. The total incidence of hydatid cyst infestation in cattle was (1.44%) including (16.66%) for females and (1.25%) for males through the year. The total incidence in plucks (lung) was (41.37%). The total seasonal incidence was (8.33%), (41.66 %), (25%) and (25%) in winter, spring, summer and autumn, respectively, including winter (10% ), spring (50%), summer ( 10% ) and autumn (30 %) for males, while the hydatid cyst infestation in plucks of females were recorded in summer (100%). The infestation rate of hydatidosis in plucks of cattle was mainly observed in spring. The total incidence of hydatid cyst infestation in buffaloes was (0.93%) including (1%) for females and (0.72%) for males through the year. The total incidence in plucks (lung) was (56%), the total seasonal incidence of pluck affection was (7.14%), (42.85%), (14.28%) and (28.57%) in winter, spring, summer and autumn, respectively. The seasonal incidence was winter (8.33%), spring (50%), summer (16.66%) and autumn (25%) in females, while the hydatid cyst infestation in plucks of male were only recorded in summer and autumn (50%) of each. The infestaion rate of hydatidosis in plucks of buffaloes was mainly observed in the spring. The total incidence of hydatid cyst infestation in camels was (1.9%) all of slaughtered camels were males. The total incidence of hydatid cyst in lung was (62.5%); the total seasonal incidence was winter (10%), spring (30%), summer (35%) and autumn (25%). The infestation rate of hydatidosis in camel plucks was mainly observed in the summer. Summary 118 The total incidence of macroscopically detected tuberculosis lesions in cattle was (2.44 %) including (2.22%) in males and (20 .83%) in females through the year, while the total incidence in lung was (16.33%) and the heart was (2.17%).The total seasonal affection rate of plucks was (25%), (12.5% ) ,( 25%) and (37.5%) in winter, spring , summer and autumn , respectively including winter (28.57% ), summer (28.75 %) and autumn (42.85%) in males, while the infection of females was recorded in spring (100%). The total incidence of macroscopically detected tuberculosis lesions in buffaloes was (3.42 %) including (1%) in males and (4.27%) in females through the year, while the total incidence of lung was (26.08%). The total seasonal pluck affection rate was (33.33%), (8.33 %), (29.17%) and (37.5%) in winter, spring, summer and autumn, respectively, including winter (30.43%), spring (8.69%), summer (30.43%) and autumn (39.13%) in females, while males affection was recorded in the winter (100%). The confirmation rate of macroscopic M.bovis infection in cattle 75% and buffaloes 66.67% lesion using polymerase chain reaction P.C.R. Histopathological examination on the specimens revealed inflammatory changes, pressure atrophy, atelectasis, fibrosis and calcification. Concerning to using P.C.R assay, it was concluded as successful accurate test for confirmation of infection with T.B. Public health significance and economic losses due to pluck affections as well as recommendations to control parasites and T.B infection were discussed. |
